Özet:

 In the literature, being widowed, old, female, and in the countryside are associated with a variety of disadvantages. However, no study in Turkish or English is encountered that focuses on analyzing the social support networks of elderly widowed women living in rural areas. The aim of this study is to examine the social relations elderly widows have by analyzing their perspectives on these relationships, the effects these relationships have on their lives and expectations, and their support networks. The qualitative research uses the phenomenological research design and was carried out in the villages of Çandır and Sarımehmetler affiliated with the Sütçüler District of Isparta Province in Turkey. The study group consists of 30 widows whose ages range between 59 and 90. The participants were selected using the maximum diversity sampling technique. A semi-structured interview form was used to collect the data. As a result of the descriptive analysis, widowhood was revealed to be a significant turning point in womens lives. Widowhood has caused them to be deprived of social, economic, and psychological resources. Poverty, dependency, loneliness, and migration are among the changes experienced through widowhood.

 Literatürde dul olmak, yaşlı olmak, kadın olmak ve kırsalda olmak çeşitli dezavantajlarla ilişkilendirilmektedir. Ancak kırsal kesimde yaşayan yaşlı dul kadınların sosyal destek ağlarının analizine odaklanan Türkçe ve İngilizce bir çalışmaya rastlanmamıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, yaşlı ve dul kadınların sahip oldukları sosyal ilişkileri, bu ilişkilere olan bakış açılarını, bu ilişkilerin hayatlarına ve beklentilerine olan etkisini ve destek ağlarını analiz ederek incelemektir. Fenomenolojik araştırma deseninin kullanıldığı nitel araştırma, Türkiyede Isparta ilinin Sütçüler ilçesine bağlı Çandır ve Sarımehmetler köylerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma grubu 30 dul kadından oluşmaktadır. Katılımcıların yaşları 59 ile 90 arasında değişmektedir. Katılımcılar maksimum çeşitlilik örneklem tekniği ile seçilmiştir. Yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Yapılan betimsel analiz neticesinde dulluğun kadınların hayatında önemli bir dönüm noktası olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Dulluk, sosyal, ekonomik ve psikolojik kaynaklardan yoksunluğa neden olmaktadır. Yoksulluk, bağımlılık, yalnızlık ve göç dulluk ile birlikte yaşanan değişimlerdendir.
